Seventeen years have passed since Mumbai lived through its darkest hours, a night when gunfire echoed through corridors of luxury hotels, railway stations turned into war zones, and live news became a window into terror.

Despite the high tide warning, Mumbai’s weather remains stable. The city will experience clear skies and dry conditions over the next few days. Temperatures will hover between 33–34°C during the day and 19–20°C at night, with minimal humidity. No rainfall or weather warnings have been issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
